because they heard that the flight was loose. f-16 is scramble pentagon is on fire. what kind of decision would they have been forced to mak had that crew not risen up and fought back. for those who doubt it happened. there are recorngs o the horrific moments. >> we have a remembrance of what went down day. y that 15 minutes trom now. >> as we had it it on o pur pet network >> he w a commanding and comforting presence for new york city and the entire nation on 9/11. he became known as america's mayor that day and joins us from the world trade cenr area mayor rudy guiliani. >> a lot of people don't know after 9/11 shortly after things were going hay wire. you were trapped in one of those buildings.

>> it was after the first building came down. i was in the police department command center to communicate with the rest of the city . i wasbout to get a phone call from vice-president cheneyn. building came down and the power came down and it created like an earthquake effect in the building. the building was shaking and we were trapped in there 15-20 minutes and we got ourselves out and once we got out, we wontedered if we hadn't gotten boa worsee situation . we saw all of the debris and people injured, we had to make a decision to go outside and we did. >> mr. mayor oen times, they say you see a person's true colors in tragedy and unexpected event. you could say that with the politicians and having that instinct of knowing what to do and we certainly saw that from you that day and the days proceedings president bush and

that photoof him in ground zero giving that speech. but what was it about -- where did you dig deep that day to know what to do? >> actually, i had several. knowledgevilles. i had been mayor for 7 and three-quarters year. you are a mayor of new york city and it is a crise yis i dealt with airplane crash blackouts and you g used to dealing with emergencies and ais worse than anything before. i h a great group much people. nothing like the new york police and fire department. i knew every decision i madeed would be cried out the right way. i didn't have to worry about that. >> you made the dn and said before and told us on the couch and in ground zero. i am acting on instinct. did you go through a period after a couplev years and war

start in stan tan and it was kind of clear we were on top o things from the intelligence perspective of mourning and remorse. >> oh, sure. yeah. >> where it finally hit home? >> it hit home in stages and not at any one time. i can't say one moment in which i felt all of the pain and all of the loss. i just feel it in stages at different times and a day like day is a complicated day. my worst memories and greatest memories and it is a complex day. i try to deal with it by always trying to finish the thought of remembering how brave the people were that came dn here. i am thinking about the construction workers that came marching down and i can see where they marched down and showed up like the calvary to relieve everyone at 2:00 in t afternoon. >> they did and a lot of the first responders as well. mr. mayor.

all of the stuff in the air. all o that junk, a lot of them have gotten sick and died and on capitol hill, they ried once to pass the bill that was then a political hot potato and that was an issue that congressman weiner and congressmen king was arguing about. that is something that congress has to do. >> how about extracting that from politicings and pass it as a stand alone bill. you don't have to attach a lot of stuff to it. republicans and democrats agree and everybody fights over. how about just passing that? that would show the kindf of solidarity and feeling that we had after september 11th which unfortunate he if you move away from it gets lost a bit. >> mr. mayor, what is the thoughts about therogress of the new building.ad we had mayor bloomburg on an hour ago and he said he

thought the progress was moving well. what are your feengs about nothing there yet? >> myre feelings now are not different than what they were a lon time ago. i think it should have beemn a memorial and no office tower no competition of commercial space. there is plenty of areas around here for commercial space. all of that should have been a memorial to the worst attack in the history of the united states . a hundred years from now. people are going to judge us on how well we handled that. you go to pearl harbor. i don kw if you had an opportunity to do that. you can relivree what happened there and g a sense of the edication of the men attacked. same thing here. i would like it to be remembered in the same way. the whole reason it is taking so long is because of confusion of t purpose of it

it is a mixed view project instead of a memolial solely. i said it in 2001, for the first time. i continue to say it and that's the reason you are seeing long delays. >> you differ on the current mayor and about the mosque. >> i have to differ with a lot of people. not many people agree with me that it should be just a memorial. i haven't gotten a majority. >> i understand that . you don't look for a majority to make your decions. mr. mayor on the mosque 200 feet from ground zero, you don't think it should be done. >> i just passed it. it is close to the bui tlding that i was trapped in . so, to me, this is i have to admit an egal issue as well i don't see it there. but the main reason i have comto the conclusion. i taldkers to the family members

and the overwhelming majority of them. a few differ. but the overwhelming majority find it enormously available. if themam is about healing you don't go forward like the pope didn't go forward with the convert inus ahwitz. >> thank you, shirr for joining us on a special day. >> the new threat we are facing. the rise of home grown territor. congressman peter king on that topic. ♪ [ singing ] ♪ i can hear the sg. ♪ the congregation is calm . ♪ my city. am you want some fir one honeclusters yeah.ea

you see. >> i am on the roof of my building five blocks south of the world trade center. i am looking right now at the world trade center. there is a massive gaping whole on the second tower. it is about 15 stories from the roof. it is unbelievable to look at. >> you can see right now. you can see emergency vehicles tearing southn the west side highway . tons of people in the streets. there are paper things fluttering out and i can't see evidence of what it was that crashed. but it is a seen of a massive gapping hole all we can do is star aghast at the pictures at this point. you are looking at the north building of the twin towers of the world trade center in manhattan . these are coming to you live now, debris raining down from

110 floors up. as you can see, this is a clear blue sky day in manhattan. if this was an accident it would be a needle in a hay stack kind of accident . there was another one. we just saw. we just saw another one.no we just saw another one apparently go another plan just flew into the second shower. this raises -- this has to be deliberate, folks. we just saw on live televion as a second plane flew into the second tower of the world trade center. now, given what has been going on around the world. some of the key suspects come to mind.

osama bin laden, whonows, who knows what? eric shawn is with us. eric you have a lot of sources in the f.b.i. and other places like that. what can you say. >> i was out of breath and walking out of the fifth avenue close to our tudios and i heard a jet. a 737 over air small air bus flying low. unusually low over fifth avenue. i don't know rpeeportos what type of plane hit the world trade center but people looked up and it made a right toward the building. it is a tragedy. it is abhorrent and disgusting. but you know, i am wondering are these pilots terrorist themselves or are there terrorist in the ckpit

holding guns to pilot's head? >> i can't imagine. >> you can speculate how it happens. it obviously takes a lot of training and expertise to fly a complicated sophisticated aircraft. whether a boeing 737 or air bus. they are not sessnas ande pipers. you have to wonder and raise what possibility there is with the type of scenario. >> wend all goaler iste in the white house or sars, he is traveling with the president. what is theeaction from the president? >> john, the president is here promoting a reading initiative on the seconay of a twoay trip to florida . he just finish to reading to children in the booker elementary school and asked

speculate about suspect. >> one things it is the most orrifically planned incident in the annals of terrorism against the united states. think about it. you look outside of the fox studios. how could you miss the trade towers? not just one but two planes? >> and it brings to mind, you know, everybody hates those metal detectors at airports anddy makes passing through them a joke these days, but clearly, it sms that something is going to change if you can make this kindme much statement and kill as many people who a likely to be dead in this kind of cenario. >> we talked to you about terrorism. no matter how it turns oiut itt is a day that live in infamy and causes changes in tms that terrorism and security like this country has never

the tower close to the highway. five or six . it was absolutely terrible. they had two choices to be burned in flames or to leap and end it all. it was tragic. >> let me bring you to the conversation. david - my colleg. g >> i want to give you late-breaking information. one of the things that is a greatest fear there i another terrorist attack since those two plane crashes happened within 20 minutes of each other. all of manhattan h been sealed off. this is probably unprecedented. this is all unprecedented in the disastardly occasion. but manhattan has been sealed off . the hudson river bridges and tunnels have been sealed. clearly there isem an attempt to thwart any other act of terrorism or violence against the people of manhattan.

manhattan is in a lock down ... (bell) a >> we are hearing right now another explosion has taken place in the pentagon.

pentagon. >> they have not struck at america, they have struck at individual places in america. but this country will go on. >> we'll have our washington manager editoho has the outlook from the nation's capt cament. brit, this raises questions of america's response. it is not going to be immediate is it? >> whether it is immediate or not. we are seeing a sevees of evacuation from various buildings from around washington t. it is important to say that we don't know and have no reason to building that the white house was facingmm any immediato imminent threat. same is true in capitol building. they will evacuate soon. thing has happened to either of those places. this is of course, john one of those days where we can say things will not be the same in the united states of america. this is the kind of terrorist

attack that is a nightmare that experts and others warned about . some ofs may have thought really could not happen on such a scale. this is quite remarkable.> >> as we watch t these pictures, the world trade center, a 110 stories leterally starting to fall. >> it is the whole tower that is gone. holy crap. they knocked the whole freaking thing down. >> i hope i live. it is coming down on me. here it comes. i am getting behind the car. i have to go find people who need help. i don't think i am one of them. you okay, sir.

>> those steel girders strong as they are had a lot of weight toport and apparently. i am not a tructural engineer. i am guessing they juswa gave away. the loss of life is going to be enormous. >> may got help those who are there and victims andil their familis and all of the souls that are lost today. >> can you tell me what you saw and heard? are you all right. >> (sirens) n, and look at this guy. unbelievable. unbelievable. this poor woman. wow. >> flight 93? united 93. do you still hear cleveland.

security advisory condoleezza rice who phoned him after the first attack. mr. bush was reading to children when the second attack occurred. chief of staff interrupted him and it was clear we were deal terrorist. >> i want to bring in to the conversation general al haag, former secretary of state. at a time like this how does america respond prud dently with the proper amount of caution and yet with whatever force needs to be aplayued? >> first we have to know the full limits of the tragedy and it is unprecedented of course. but we have to say above all unite calm and ready to take resolute actionhich sometimes we have failed to do in the recent past. when the perpetrators are uncover we have many indicators of precisely who they are.

it was too broadly based terrorist attack to be a few crazies. it is a terrorist move we know where they are located today . obviously as a nation we'll have to take action against them. >> there it goes. there it goes. oh, it comes down. >> we do need to put it down now. here we go.

then the pentagon hit . night 93n the falling of the towerings. you get it usually over the course of a career. but five major events happened in a short period of time within 90 minutes. >> that's exactly right. that particular package put together so well reminds you why we are at war with globa tl terrorism in this country. you are lking at mayor bloomburg down in ground zero . middle you have pentagon and shanksville, pennsfylvania whre one of the planes flew in the ground. it is presumed that plain was headed for washington d.c.. it sounds like from what we know the passengers on board knew there was trouble and heard about the plane striking the world trade center. >> we want to mention today. you can see the mayor speaking at ground zero and the president of the united states will be speaking in the pentagon and first lady

michelle obama and former first lady. we'll stop for a moment of silence. >> join us and all new yorker for a momentf silence. >> it was once impossible to believe that two soaring towers of people and possibilities can be soil coldly throughout the year we tsence.

stop him from attacking the two dragging away his comrade. those are your headlines today. >> we're going to have mor from the lower tip of manhattan and the pentagon and shanksville, pennsylvania. we would like to talk about what's going on in the world of politics because we know so many of you are interested in it. yesterday the president of the united states had a one hour and 17 minute press conference there in the east room of the white house. and for the most part, whenever he was talking about a economic this and jobs, he sounded a little professorial, interestingly enough and th, you know, he's a very smart politician. he knows people are understandably frustrated with the economy sputtering along in the lack of jobs and he had nd this prediction about early in november. november. >> for the all the progress we've made we're not there yet and tha t means the people are frustrated and that means people are angry and since i'm

the president, and democrats house and lled t the stat it's understandable that people are saying youw, know, what have you done. >> yeah, and where are the jobs? >> right, where are the jobs. about 862 billion dollargo he got it passedn almost pure party line vote, imagine majorities and we're wondering what happened to the money and the focus the next year was on health care and the president could be paying the price for that because the recovery summer never happened. the stimulus bill is very unpular and now he's asking for another, but he does something he always does, he picks out an enemy. the health care companies for a while. wall street for a while. john mccain for a while and president bush still today and this new guy is minority leader john boehner, that is the enemy and did i say president bush? maybe he's not the enemy anymore? >> this is a very interesting turn of events yesterday. a week ago when the president gave the speech on iraq and

ending combat mission there, he kind of thanked president bush. >> he talked-- >> not outwardlyid he thank him for the surge that many people believe was successful in iraq. he took some heat for that, asin well his spokesperson taking heat for that. then, a couple of days ago, when vice-president biden was on the steven colbert show he did something that a lot of sople went wow and did you hear what president obama said yesterday during that speech? watch both of these. >> the administration has got some critique, some criticism from me and my conservative friends, you have not given enough credit to president bush. would you like to take this opportunity right now to look over there and say thank you. >> mr. president, thank you, you've honored these guys, you've honored these women, you've honored these troops and i've knownou your entire eight years as president. a i've never known a time when you didn't care about what happened. we disagreed on policy and you deserve a lot of credit, mr. president. >> one of the things that i've

most admired about president bush was after 9/11, him being crystal clear about the fact that we were not at war with islam. we were at war with terrorists and murderers who had perverted islam, had stolen its banner to carry out their outrageous acts. and i was so proud of the uncountry rallying around that idea. >> oh, think about it. if you're going praise and say the end of operation iraqi freedoms over and the surge, that's president bush. if you want to say the drone strikes that was started under president bush in pakistan. when you saw afghanistan, president bush started and that's the one you upgraded so when you talk about bush policies he's living that. h t >> but he didn't have to sayda that yesterday. he did not have to give credit to probable, you have to

wonder if there's strategery goinag on here. and maybe they looked at the polls and at least the people in ohio would rather have president bush back than president obama. >> or maybe the president has just been sitting in that chair long enough. he realis that george bush, when he sat in that chair did his best, as he deemed what he should be doing. and now it's-- and everybody knows that after the mid terms, the president is going to take a turn toward the right. >> you think so? >> he's going to be running forreeltion, absolutely. >> i don't think that's a-- >> i'm not saying hard right, i'm just going to say that so far to the left ak he's going to be taking a turn to the right to become more moderate. >> then he'd be doing that now because he needs the house and the senate. we'll have to wait and see. >> we'll wait here on the couch and meanwhile, this is coming your way, the feds now veigating the deadly gas explosion that flattened the entire neighborhood and could this disaster have been prevented in san francisco. >> 45 minutes from now, neil

terrorists attacked our country. >> they've been reading for about a half hour and only up to the c's and neil cavuto is hosting a special program from liberty state park from where the towers once stood. good morning, neil. >> good morning. >> we showed about an hour ago, we ran 20 minutes to kind of summarized what happened on that day. i know, you're the money guy. shortly after the markets eventually did open we rent right in the tank. this country has just been on a rollercoaster since that day nine years ago today. >> really, it's remarkable, when you think about it, steve, we're upstanding now technically in jersey city looking down at manhattan and this has become its own metropolis. goldman sachs built a huge un office here and adjuncts offices fear of returning to lower manhattan andthers

hedging their bets in addition to offices in manhattan. but it's been very good for this part of the jersey economy. and i'm only a few feet away from ellis island. this is really a nationafl landmark site if you think about it, from the beginnings ofhose who wantedo get here, to of course the tragedy that happenly a few feet from here. so, when you look at the statistics and numbers, it's one thing, steve, but one thing stands out, when i look ro at the raw data from where we were then to where we are now. if you were to be oblivious to the last day of trading, let's say on september 10th, the day before the attacks, to where we are now, and just take that snapshot you'd say not much has changed. home prices are roughly the same value then as they are now. the markets roughly where they are now, as they were then. it's remarkable, t of course, we know what's transpired in nine ayears. >> that's an interesting comparison. neil, i know you'll have special coverage direcditly after this edition of "fox &

friends." the real cost of freedom. what are you going to be talking about? >> well, you know, we wanted to talk not only to those who were there at the time, but f those who hav a lot ofke stake in this. you know, the guy who ran the new york stock exchange, people forget how dicey that was. the market was closed obviously on the 11th, a tuesday when this all disrupted and didn't open until the follong monday and it wasf,uterious selloff, but we did stabilize and we'll be chatting with him and the former head of american airlines. about of there were bank bailouts, and all that, there was an airline bailout. people forget that, it was a big deal at the time, but not at all controversial and we see the airlines stabilizing, but of course, everyone wasaf afraid to fly and the idea of bailing them out was behind that and we have john howard from australia and so many morend more importantly is you discussing with are we go. >> thanks, neil, we'll be thatching for sure for that. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead.

the image is heart wrenching, president bush at ground zero and arm wrapped aund one of the bravest. >> and karl rove will talk about that way.o >>. >> joni sesta. >> jeffy mark chernoff.

>> we've got a fox news alert on this saturday morning. a federal investigation is being launched into that horrific explosion out in san bruno, california that killed at least four people and destroyed a whole bunchf houses. dan springer is live in san bruno with t very latest. good morning to you, daniel. >> yes, steve, there are a

couple of key developments overnight and the first is that they have finished that house by house search for more victims. you know that they're waiting to put out hot spots before they could get through the neighborhood and find out if there were any more victims and almost anybody expted that there would be additional casualties to this. howeverh, they went through the houses and they found nobody else, no other victims of this terrible tragedy and so what they have concluded is that they have four fatalities, the number we're at now and there are dozens of other injuries, seven of them serious injuries k and the other key development is that the h n.t.s.b. has launched their investigation and done some preliminary work and told us this morning, that they have found a clean break at a weld, a large area that holds two pieces of pipe together. t is is a 30-inch pipe that exploded and found at e point of the explosion the point where two pies were held together, there was a

short break. here is what the n.t.s.b. told us a moment ago. >> w noticed that the seam weld, that brings the two long sections of pipe together, there was a very clean break around the weld and that's one of the things we'll be looki at, how did that break occur, we'll be taking pieces of the pipe back to our washington lab to study how, what were the mechanisms that caused that break t oo occur. >> and of course, they'll be looking at other issues, like possible, the possibility of human error, we know that people are supposed to be checking the pressure in pipes. they'll be looking at construction records, did a backhoe at some point damage the pipe and looking a the a lot of things, including reports that people in the neighborhood smelled natural gas and reported that to pacific gas d eric prior to this explosion. a lot of things to be looking at, steve, and they'll be launching that investigation like i said in earnest today. >> indeed and particularill the last issue, where people were smelling gas for a while before it did explode.

dan springer reporting live, thank you. 25 minutes now after the top of the hour, president obama just arrived at the pentagon, he's set to lay tha wreh y and deliver remarks, you'll see more live coming up next. and then we're going to head live to iraq, an update on the mission to root out al-qaeda. and then, geraldo will join us to shareod his thoughts today nine years after the september 11th attack.

>> we honor them with our lives, with what we have done from that day to this. >> here at the live ceremony taking place at the pentagon in washington d.c., remembering the 9th anniversary of 9/11. >> and that's add mal mullen joint chiefs of staff giving the address. >> and you can see president obama off his right shoulder and the president will bkie speaking momentarily and we wi ll bring you those remarks as they happen. >> meanwhile, as they do that there, let's take a look at ground zero and the reading of the r names is happening right now. and perhaps we'll be able to hear a little bit of it coming

up. >> scott matthew davidson. of the second year in a row they're not going down to a pit to read it because everythi is thankfully coming up. >> that's right, and coming up in this half hour at 9:st59 eastern time there will be a third moment of silence marking the time when the south tower collapsed, a fourth moment of silence will10 happen at 10:28 eastern time then when the north tower fell. >> and looki live now, let's go to pennsylvania, shanksville to be specific, the exact site the crash of flight 93. and first lady michelle obama and former first ly lusaura bush. theassengers fought bac stopping the terrorist and crashing t plane as you know and the white house or capitol building strong speculation the capitol building being the intended target. >> now to ir, the u.s. there, but till questions still surround our mission there, including what is iraq's current role in the war on terror, joining us from baghdad is our own malini

wilkes, hi, malini. >> rorreter: good morning, gretchen. well, former president bush pledged to fig the terrorists abroad so we woul't have to fe them at home and nine years after 9/11 the iraqi special operations forces are key to counterterrorism efforts here. ,hould the iraqis be leading our war against al-qaeda, our war on terror? i had rare access to talking to commanders and their u.s. advisors. they are highly trained coandos with the best u.s. equipment. the iraqi special operations forces. this is just an exercise in capturing the most dangero terrorists. nine years after 9/11,ia iorceq special forces are key to counterterrorism efforts here. american advisors observed, sometimes participate, but more and more hang back. eally doing is really follow, observend report. we're watching them. >> both u.s. and iraqi

commanders say al-qaeda has been severely degraded since 2007. >> i fought them in fallujah, is a mara and many areas and the old al-qaeda does not exist in iraq anymore, their leaders have been killed and many have been captured. >> but the fight isn't over. high profilee bombings continue with al-qaeda ciming responsibility. at's why more than 4,000 u.s. special forces remain here to coach and support their iraqi counterpedarts. >> we'veived together, we eat together, we sleep together, we even fight together. we have died together. >> some iraqis all their own special forces the dirty brigade accusing them of harsh tactics and so, questioning why they are under chain of command that puts them directly under the iraqi prime minister, but the u.s. army s who are rce advising them say they are the finest in the middle east, partly because we have been workingloly with them for seven and a half years. gretchen, steve, brian, back to you. >> malini, wilkes live for us

in baghdad. that brings the story foeull circle, does it not? >> yeah, it does. geraldo rivera joins us on the couch. how great is it you have an iraqi officer talking about fighting al-qaeda. >> geraldo? >> pause. >> the president down at the pentagon. >> i yield to the president. >> secretary gates, admiral mullen and members of the armed forces, my fellow americans. most of all to you, survivors who still carry the scars of tragedy and destruction, to the families who carry in your hearts the memory of the loved os you lost here. t our nation, this is a day of remembrance, a day ofle reflection and with god's grace, a day of unity and

renewal. we gather to remember at this sacred hour on hallowed ground, the places where we feel such grief and where our healing goes on. we gather here at the pentagon where the names of the lost are forever etched in stone. we gather in a gentle pennsylvania field where a plane went down and a tower of voices will rise and echo through the ages. we gather where the twin towers fell, the site where the work goes on so that next year on the 10th anniversary, the waters will flow and steady tribute to the nearlyoce 3000 innocentlives. on this day it's perhaps natural to focus on the images o that awful morning. images that are seared into

our souls. it's tempting to dwell on the final moments of the loved ones whose lives were taken so cruelly. yet, these memorials and your presence today remind us to remember the fullness of their time on earth. there were fathers and mothers, raising their families, brothers and sisters, pursuing their dreams. sons and daughters, theirs ole lives before them. they were civilians and service members. some never saw the danger coming, others saw the peril and rushed to save others, up those stairwells into the flames, into the cockpit. they were white and black and brown, men and women and sdrome childr children, made up of a races, many faiths.

they were americans, people from far corners of the world. they were snatched froms senselessly and much too soon, but they lived well and they live on in you. nene years have now . passed. in that time you've shed more tears than we will ever know. and though it must seem some oys as though the world has moved on other things, i say to you today that your love ones endure in the heart of our nation now a forever. our remembrance today also requires certain reflection, as the nation and as individuals. we must ask ourselves how best to honor them, those who died,t

those who sacrificed. how do we preserve their legacy, not just on this day, but every day. we need not look far for our answer. the perpetrators of this evil act didn't simply attack america, they attacked the very idea of america itself. all that we sta nd for and represent in the world. so the highest honor we can pay those we lost, indeed, our greatest weapon in this ongoing war is to do what our adversaries fear the most and stay true to who we are as americans. to renew our sense of common purpose, to say that we define the cracter of our country and we will not let the acts

of some small band of murderers who slaughter the innocent and cower in caves distort who we are. they doubted our will, but as americans, we persevere. today in afghanistan, and beyond, we have gone on t he offensive and struck major blows against al-qaed and its allies. we will do what is necessary to protect our country. nd we honor all tse who serve to keep us safe. they may seek to strike fear in us, but they are no match for our resilience. we do not succumb to fear nor will we squander the operatetism that's always defined us as a people. on a day when others thought to destroy, we have chosen to build. for the national day of service and remembrce that suons the inherent goodness of the american people.

they may seek to exploit our freedoms, but we will not sacrifice the liberties we cherish or hunker down behind walls of suspicion and mistrust. they may wish to drive us apart, but we will not give in to their hatred and prejudice. the scripture teaches us to get rid of all bitterness, age and anger, brawling and slander along with every form of malice. they may seek to spark conflict between different faiths, but as americans, we are not and never will be at war with islam. iwas not a religion that attacked us that september day, it was al-qaeda, a sorry band of men which reverts religion. and just as we condemnin intolerance and extremism

abroad, so will we sta true to our traditions here at home as a derse and tolerant nation. champion the rights of every american, including the right to worship as one chooses. the service members and civilians from many faiths do just steps from here, at the very spot where the terrorists struck this building. those who attacked thought to demoralize us, divide us, to deprive us of the very unity, the very ideals that make america, america. those qualities that have made us a beacon of freedom and hope t billions around the ld world. today we declare oncemore, we will never hand them that victory. as americans we will keep alive the virtues and values that make us who we are and who we must always be.

for our cause is just. our spirit is strong, our resolve is unwavering. like generations before let us com together today and all days to affirm certain inalienablerights, affirm life and liberty and the pursuant of happiness. on this day and the days to come, we choose to stay true to our best selves as one nation under god, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. this is how we choose to honor the fallen, your families, your friends, your fellow service members. this is how we will keep alive theegacy ofhese proud and

patriotics americans. this is how we will prevail in this great test of our time. ow this is how we will preserve and protect the country that we love and pass it safer and stronger to future generations. may god bless you and your families and may godontinue to bless the united states of america. [applaus [applause] >> there you have the president of the united states over at the pentagon marking nine years ago today that that plane flew into that building and joining right now live is geraldo rivera. geraldo you came to fox shortly after 9/11 and went to tora bora looking for osama bin laden. >> scaled a lot of cliffs and caves, and found his rical

pack there. . >> we were live on fox in the sho >> i was looking at my gps and seeing that we crossed from afghanistan to pakistan. >> and bin laden walked that as he knew it was an escape route. if you go down a valley, foll a river, the river is behind his home where we camped out, it just-- you follow the river, follow that river valley and there it took us less than four hours to reach pakistan and why we didn't block it. >> and i know how badly you wanted to find him then, but now you fast forward nine years,>> he is still loose. t to make three kwekns observations, number one, as every anniversary,you recognize how much every american, certainly in varying degrees has suffered as a result of 9/11. how many lives were disrupted, how many more taxes we pay, how much lives we have lost in terms of the pursuant of this man and his allies and i think from a personal point of view

the so-called victims of 9/11 it's a far larger counity, i argue it's a community ofll of the united states, but certainly in varying degrees and many, many people profoundly professionalize disrupted, family lives disrupted. people lost in the military and elsewhere. en it's clear because of my first observation, aside from an act much mass murder this was a brilliant military attack on the united states. this in my view far more effective than pearl harbor, this is something that cost us a trillion dollars so far, we're still paying for urit. the security industry and everything else that's bu burgeoned and supported by tax dollars and the third thing is, for nine years we have survived without the kind of bitterness and divisiveness that this act is now causing as a result of the mosque downtown and we have avoided divisions between people of faith. one faith or the other, the

islamic community here has lived in absolute harmony until now, where now the bitterness has surfaced and this is a symptom of the fact that this thing has dragged on for nine long years. >> and the last thing is, too, we just weren't acknowledging t, hit may have officially brought us in. >> you're right, but this was an attack of a scale the magnitude you don't know and never would have expected. >> indeed, as they continue to read the names downtown here in manhattan, geraldo will be live tonight and-- >> i'll be covering this and other relevant stories. >> all right, over to grech, a special guest, michael mukasey. >> joining us is former attorney general michael mukasey and also a judge, i'll going to call you judge. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> as you reflect back nine years, what are your thoughts today? >> my thoughts are very much like what they were on september 11th, 2001, which is that this country got sucker

punched by people acting in the name of an ideology and got we've got to confront that ideology and look at it in a clear-eyed way if we were going to deea?t it. >> and have we? >> to a large extente we have. i think a lot of progress has been made since that day. i think we're not facing the kind of mass, high casualty attack that we faced on that day. he think the threat of that kind of attack has diminished. i think the threat of nuclear, biological, radiological attack is someat diminished and yet, we're facing in increasing numbers americans and residents of this country who are involved in that kin of activity and who are in fact leaders of it. >> because the new report surfaced the national security preparedness group assessing the terrorias threat at home and into the last year, we have the time square alleged bomber, the fort hood shooter

and the christmas day boer, all home grown. what do you think when you hear home-grown terrorist? >> what i think is that we need to understand the nature of what it is we're up against. we need to understand that this is not just a bunch of a madmen running around who like to run around destroying buildings. this is an ideology that will do it any way possible, be it terrorism, be it peaceful er.nd >> is this the new strategy of the terrorists, if what you're saying is true, that they maybe can't pull 0 of this o large scale kind of attack he gain, then the new strategy is to target one of our own, to try and turn them? >> well, i think that that strategy has probably been in place for se time. the strategy is to organize smaller attacks, that will nonetheless take a substantial toll and that will sap the energy and will of this country. >> so this report lists

potential future domestic targs including passenger sets, jewish or israeli sites and u.s. soldiers even at bases in earthquake m. well, we saw that at fort hood didn't we? >> we saw it in fort hood, saw it in little rock, where a recruiter was killed and another was wnded and al wa lackey enspired the fort hood shooting. praised that. when you hear people s that r the war on terror was overblown as i think the news week cover says in the latest edition or that we made too much of it, or that it doesn't exist ymore and we sit here nine years after september 11th and we're hearing names of these people who died, what do you think? is that true? the war on terror doesn't exist anymore. >> that just infuriates me. it is itself a dangerous, dangerous kind of idea because it puts people to sleep. tells people go to sleep. if, as people said in1993, that that was a wakeup call or

september 11th if that was a wakeup call. this is urging us to hit the snooze button, that's not something we should ever do. i think we should look at this in a dleer aye and understand the nature of the ideology. >> not just the religion, but the system that some of these people seek to impose, that there are a reformist elements within islam that we just interact with and enc sourage and we should discourage to the extent that we can as citizens, people who are bent on a different kind of view of that religion. >> it's always so great to get your perspective, a former u.s. attorney general michael mukasey, judge mukay. thanks very muurch for sharing your thoughts on the 9th anniversary of september 11th. >> thank you. >> let's go over to steve andan brian. >> thanks, grech. nine years ago today, ahman mack naneney was at work on the 103rd floor.

on that day bonnie lost her husband and four children lost their father, but bonnie says hope. y is one of she says since 9/11 her husband has reached out to her and sent her members that he is still with her in one way or another. and she's compiled that story and similar experience from other 9/11 families in her ook. messages, signs, visits and premonitions from loved ones lost on 9/11. >> welcome, bonnie. >> thank you. >> so sad on ts day, even though nine years for many, it's like yesterday, would you think your husband had been sending you messages and you find that's not the only, you're not the only family member to feel this. >> i interviewed nearly 200 family members and friends victims who have incredible experiences supporting the nation that loving relationships continue even after death. they're justdifferent. >> you thought you'd lost him completely, but then, tell us aut-- and there's a picture of you on the happiest day. tell us how you started to
